Dracule Mihawk — a one-of-one manga-style repaint.
This Dracule Mihawk resin figure was repainted by hand in a cel-shaded manga style at the client’s request. The project shows a change in the paint treatment of an existing figure.
About the finished work
The portfolio includes four views of the completed repaint. Its stated brief was a two-dimensional comic-book appearance on a three-dimensional figure. These finished photos show the result; the archive does not include a before-and-after comparison.
